In the afternoon, Maddie returned to the training gym accompanied by Fred Hazard.

Fred Hazard held a stack of report sheets in his hand and handed them to Qiao Hai.

"Mild back cramps."

The first report card states that the cause of Maddie's back pain is mild back spasms.

Fred Hazard was afraid that Qiao Hai would not understand, so he explained: "Mild back spasms, there is no big problem, you can play, but it is bound to affect the state." ”

Qiao Hai nodded.

See Chapter 2 Report Sheet.

"Congenital mild scoliosis."

Fred Hazard continued: "Congenital mild scoliosis, which is considered a congenital disease, has little impact, but Tracy's back spasms are related to this congenital mild scoliosis. ”

Qiao Hai continued to nod.

"So I suggest that Tracy do more back flexion and extension exercises to strengthen the erector spinae, and in addition, it is best to change the style of play, reduce the dry pull jump shot, and don't overuse the lower back."

Hearing this, Qiao Hai began to frown.

Fred Hazard said that it would not have much impact, but the next words still showed that if Maddie did not make changes, the back injury would always haunt Maddie in the future, and Qiao Hai's memories of his previous life also proved this.

Let Maddie change?

It's not an easy task, it's okay to increase the training of back flexion and extension, and it's a little difficult to reduce the shot of the pull-up jumper, the pull-up jumper is Maddie's main scoring method, without the pull-out, Maddie's regular scoring arsenal is only left to break through after getting rid of the defender.

Therefore, Qiao Hai could only call Byron Scott, who was in charge of Maddie's training: "Byron, Tracy's training plan needs to be changed, and he needs to add some back flexion and extension exercises." ”

Byron Scott agreed, and then asked, "How's it going, can Tracy still fight?" ”

Fred Hazard thought that Maddie continued to play no problem, but Qiao Hai had some doubts, he did not answer Byron Scott, turned his head and asked Fred Hazard: "In the next game, can Tracy really play?" ”

Fred Hazard nodded affirmatively: "Yes!" ”

Then he added: "But the state will definitely be affected." ”

As soon as he said this, Qiao Hai understood that Maddie could play in the next game!

As for the state, Qiao Hai has his own way, and it is not a waste to use a status card to improve Maddie's status.

The most important reason is that Maddie has to play in the next game, because the Grizzlies can't lose again, after losing one game first, the Grizzlies are already 0:1 behind, and the 0:1 down here is bigger than the usual 0:1 down, because the Grizzlies lost a home game, in other words, they lost home court advantage.

The next game is still at home, and if you lose again, the home court advantage will be completely lost, and the Grizzlies will completely fall into disadvantage throughout the series.

So, in the next game, the Grizzlies can only win, not lose.

……

On May 10, the Grizzlies and Spurs began their rematch.

For the Grizzlies, although this game is not a life and death battle, but it is like a life and death battle, before the game, Qiao Hai used a status card for Maddy, so that Maddie's state is red again, compared with the previous game, the Grizzlies also made some adjustments, such as the starting point guard replaced by Mike Bibby.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the game started on time.

The Grizzlies' starters only changed one Mike Bibe, while on the Spurs' side, the starting point guard was Avery Johnson, the scoring guard Mario Alley, the small forward became Jeremy Coltsi, the power forward was Duncan, and the center was David Robinson.

The adjustment of the Spurs' starting lineup attracted Qiao Hai's attention, but Byron Scott quickly gave a simple answer: "On the third position, Corsi, Greg Popovich is going to strengthen the starting defense......"

It is true that compared to the aging Sean Elliott, the young Corsi has a better defense, and with Mario Elli, two wings with excellent defense, the purpose of the Spurs is obvious.

Lionel Hollins also suddenly said: "Strengthen the defense, like in the last game, prevent Tracy?" ”

"That's right, it must be like that!"

"But in this game, we also have adjustments......"

Speaking of which, Byron Scott and Hollins looked at Qiao Hai, they felt that Qiao Hai was a bit of a god, did they guess that the Spurs would strengthen their defense on the outside? And then the starting point guard went up to Mike Bibby?

Joe didn't speak, standing on the sidelines, watching Brad Miller and David Robinson jump balls.

In the opening jump shot, David Robinson won, and the Spurs got the ball for the opening attack.

Avery Johnson took the ball to organize the offense, and in this game, the Grizzlies' defense was still a strong side stack, and the focus was on Duncan.

There is no strong point on the outside, the Spurs' offensive routine is monotonous, and the most stable offense is Duncan to take the ball alone, but this road is consciously locked by the Grizzlies, so, in this series, the Spurs' offense has undergone some changes, and they have begun to emphasize the running position of small players on the outside.

Avery Johnson took the ball, Duncan stepped forward to give him a single block, Avery Johnson made a break, tore the Grizzlies' defense, and distributed the ball to Colsey on the other side, Colsey received the ball, and Sean Marion followed.

Corsi also burst the ball for a while, but there was no chance.

He went straight to the basket, David Robinson received the ball and went to Brad Miller for a layup.

With a bang, the basketball smashed into the rebound and bounced into the basket!

Ball in! 2:0！

Grizzlies' offense, in the opening, they meticulously played Princeton's offense, Brad Miller responded high, the ball passed to the bottom corner, and Sean Marion made a three-point shot and missed.

The Spurs grabbed the rebound and played a wave of counterattacks.

But the Grizzlies' retreat was also very fast, and they didn't give a chance, and in the counterattack, Mario Alley missed the shot.

Sean Marion grabbed the rebound in the backcourt and tried to counterattack in turn, but Duncan and David Robinson fell first, so they could only slow down the pace and continue to play Princeton offense.

This time it was Brad Miller who took the ball, the high post responded, Maddie rushed into the inside line, attracted the defense, Brad Miller did not pass, Rahim on the other side pulled out from the low post, the low post was therefore empty, Brad Miller passed the ball directly into the inside line, Raheem received the ball, rushed towards the low post, and then jumped.

Bang, the ball goes in!

2:2 draw!

Then, the Spurs' offense, Duncan took the ball and singled once, and it was Sean Marion who defended Duncan, compared to Raheem, Marion's height will be a little disadvantaged, but the victory is flexible, and purely from the defensive attributes, Marion is stronger.

Duncan doesn't think so, he can only take the ball and eat strongly, and miss the mid-range jumper.

But David Robinson grabbed the offensive rebound and hit a layup, 4-2.

The Grizzlies served in the backcourt, and Brad Miller responded with a high post and gave the ball to Raheem in the low post.

Raheem took the ball in the low post and singled it, passed the ball to Maddie at the critical moment, and Maddie pulled out from the middle distance and missed.

Spurs then countered and were unsuccessful.

They slowed down and played their positions, and Avery Johnson's mid-range pullup jumper didn't go in.

In turn, the Grizzlies played a wave of counterattacks, and Maddie scored a layup in the fast break, tied 4:4!

At the beginning, the two teams were tied.

But in terms of offense, the efficiency of both sides is not high, and there is iron on each other.

Overall, the situation is a bit bad for the Grizzlies, as the tempo has been slowed down by the Spurs, and now the Grizzlies are playing defensive battles with the Spurs.

The tempo is not on the Grizzlies' side, and the Spurs may take advantage of the tempo at any time to take the lead in a wave.

Sure enough, after two more minutes, the Spurs' defensive intensity suddenly increased, and they defended against two waves of Grizzlies offense, but it was the Spurs themselves, using Duncan's accurate mid-range shot, to score two goals in a row, and the Spurs led the Grizzlies by 5 points at 15:10 in an instant.

Although the score difference is only 5 points, thinking of the last game, Qiao Hai knows that the difference of 5 points is almost equal to the difference of 10 points.

The two teams are a defensive battle, and at critical moments, the key players of the Grizzlies do not feel good, and in a short period of time, it is difficult to recover the 5 or 10 points behind.

I have to say that the plot of this game is too similar to the last one, and the Grizzlies can't play like this anymore, they have to make changes.
